Inaugural Evenings
by Cardboard Cinema Productions

May. 29 - Jun. 05 (2021)

An original work inspired by The West Wing, this 10-minute play follows the President and First-Lady as they face their first challenge just hours after being inaugurated. 

The roles being auditioned are:​

Charlie (M/F, early 20s) - The personal aide to the president. Strong sense of honor and loyalty.

Jim (M 40s/50s) - The newly inaugurated president. Folksy charm, professorial.

Penelope (F 40s/50s) - The First Lady, very protective of her family, full of wisdom and wit.

Auditions open on May 29th, 2021 and run through June 5th.

​The script is roughly 10-minutes in length. 

​The rehearsal process will be four 2-hour rehearsals followed by a filmed staged reading.
